Jeanine Fox-Rioche, BACP

Jeanine Fox-Rioche is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 25 years of practice. She works with people around relationship and family concerns, parenting, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression and related issues. Jeanine also supports clients dealing with addiction, grief, stress and intimacy-related difficulties.

She draws on person-centred ways of working and other practical approaches to help people talk through painful memories and current problems. Sessions focus on clear reflection, noticing patterns, and building practical skills to manage reactions. Jeanine places importance on helping people find ways to cope when events cannot be changed.

Her approach is conversational and straightforward. She listens, offers reflections, and suggests exercises you can try between sessions. The aim is to increase a client's options and confidence rather than promise quick fixes.

Jeanine has worked in a range of settings, including family support and work with people recovering from trauma. Over the years she has learned from clients' own resilience and from practical problem solving in real situations. This background informs how she supports people facing court processes, caregiving strain, chronic illness and other complex life stresses.

She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused practice where these fit the person's goals. Sessions are intended to help people clarify choices, develop calmer responses, and build small skills that make daily life easier.

To begin, she asks people to describe current problems and the changes they hope for. That helps shape a realistic plan and next steps for further work.
